i was thinking usyd but unsw seems good too
i'm not sure tho

it depends on what you wanna do ig

anyone from uni, experiences with uni and transitioning from hs to uni??
what's the best uni and how do adjustment factors work for atar

its so different, you need a lot of time to adjust, and trial and error. I'm not sure whats the 'best' uni but i really enjoy unsw so far. adjustment factors add points to your atar to help you reach the minium atar requirement. for instance unsw law had a 97.7 atar cut off but that was the selection rank which includes adjustment factors and the LAT (law admission test), since i got a 95.15 atar the unsw acceptance team (whatever they are called) would have probably gave me 2/3 points from EAS and the LAT to help me meet that selection rank. i hope that makes sense

if you get like 90 in all your subjects you are almost guaranteed 98+ and thats not that hard

everythings blocked on my school laptop

you're actually so stupid

Don't be disappointed when you get an 89 in the 2026 exam. It WILL be harder.

Also your 89 will replace your 94 mark regardless of it being worse.

how can one re-do a course

 

[Study to success]

how can one re-do a course

If u do it accel u can repeat it. Someone in my grade is repeating math adv. but the thing is they only take it most recent score not ur best score

 

[RZ1234]

how can one re-do a course

By requesting to the school to retake the course.

This guy shouldn't even be retaking any courses. 94 in ext 1 is 99+ atar contribution. I genuniely don't know how he's smart enough to even get that high given that he thinks redoing the course is a good idea

bro dont worry ive got it covered
even if it is way harder im still gonna cook
trust me e2 and e1 have alr been soo much easier for me this year (it is only internals but still)
being exposed to the questions for a whole year already gives me a huge advantage
dont think i didnt consider keeping the marks for a long time, i thought about it for a very long time
and yes ik they take the recent mark its fine
for what i want (dont ask) i kinda need 99.90+ atar and those marks arent gonna cut it
also i kinda wanna state rank for at least 2 subjects (spanish+another)

 

[dantheman2211]

also my friend who did e1 accelerated with me in my class also got 94 (3-way tie for 1st ) and hes also redoing it so im not the only crazy one

did i do myself a disservice by dropping maths guys i sucked so hard and would get maximum 50% on exams but i feel like i locked myself out of uni oppurtunities by not completing a unit of math

yes math also scales the best lowk, doing like ext 1 or ext 2 helps so much with ATAR

yea, like on the lower end, if you get like 40 raw mark, you get aligned to like 80 and if you get like 74, it becomes 97 or something like that
